Yeah, being underweight fucks with your heart.
I'm taking a quick break at home. I really hate this (on my son's behalf). He's so wildly upset about being there that I finally asked for (and he'll be getting) some anti-anxiety meds (which I'm told won't affect his heart rate...oddly enough).
The whole reason we brought him in was to get "medically cleared" so he could get some actual mental health treatment (the hospital ONLY "re-feeds" him; they work on the body and leave the brain/spirit to suffer). If I took him out today, and he had the regular appointment he's been having every Tuesday, his heart rate would probably FAR EXCEED the requirement for the medical release we were seeking. However, he got sucked in to that fucking hospital vacuum and now the only heart rate that THEY care about is what they see when he's actually sleeping (night time). That rate is still below what they consider sufficient (it dips down to 38 at times...they want it to not go below 45 ideally).
Hell, I started typing this over an hour ago and got sucked in to one crisis phone call after another. FML. I've got to get back to the stupid hospital.
